Yeah he is very useful to have in the team.

Reading last night and all over the news today that Wolfsburg are about to sign him. They finished 11th last year so this makes no sense. I don't believe the story but considering everyone is reporting it is a worry.

If Arsenal were really interested and he doesn't sign for us then that is totally unacceptable. I have been reading Arsenal will not pay 17m for him. If we are not getting him just because of the fee then the board/wenger are messed up. 20m is the new 10m. We might not accept that but have to go with it.

I read that he wants regular football to help get in the World Cup squad. He surely wouldhave got that at Arsenal. Maybe not starting every game. Wolfsburg aren't even in Champs League.

I knew that with him saying he wants to play for Arsenal, and Arsenal supposedly wanted him, sounded a bit too good to be true.

I'll judge Arsene at the end of the Transfer window but he has to do some serious business to sort this out.

Him saying "no one is available" is not on. Everyone has a price. I am not saying spend 30 mil on a 10 mil rated player but Arsenal need to get these players in.

If the goes to French Ligue 2 then he's a joke.

Plus I am hating this Gourcuff stuff that's going around. He is dump. Years ago he was talked about being the next Zidane. But he's shite. Gourcuff saying I will take a paycut to join Arsenal. Yes because you are sh1t. How desperate are you? Very.

I know Arteta is injured but when he's back, Gustavo would find himself spending a lot of time on the bench. If he wants a World Cup place he needs regular football. And remember, just because you don't play for an elite team, that doesn't mean you're not an elite player. Just look at Bale last season.

Some cracking signings so far, going on the first games who do you think will be this seasons Gem, Im going with Bony The Beast from Swansea this year. Can see himself and Michu forming a lethel strike partnership.
